Job Description

FIRE & SECURITY ENGINEERLONDON | NORTH LONDON | SOUTH LONDON | EAST LONDON | WEST LONDON | GREATER LONDON
£33,000 £38,000 DOE | COMPANY EV | REGIONAL COVERAGE | EXCELLENT BENEFITSYOUR NEXT MOVE COULD BE CLOSER TO HOME

If you're an experienced Fire & Security Engineer living in London or the surrounding areas, how much of your working week is actually spent doing engineering and how much is spent travelling between sites?

Long journeys, heavy traffic, constantly changing locations and wide-area coverage can quickly take their toll.

This opportunity is built differently.

I'm working with an established and highly respected fire and security solutions provider looking to strengthen its engineering team across the London region.

The aim is simple:

Give good engineers a great place to work, keep them working within a sensible regional area, and invest properly in their development.

If you're looking for a role that offers strong benefits, a company EV, genuine training investment and a better overall work-life balance, this could be worth a conversation.

THE ROLE AT A GLANCE

£33,000 £38,000 BASIC SALARY
Depending on experience

COMPANY ELECTRIC VEHICLE

HOME EV CHARGING POINT
Where suitable

REGIONAL ENGINEERING PATCH

25 DAYS HOLIDAY + BANK HOLIDAYS

PRIVATE HEALTHCARE

LIFE INSURANCE

COMPANY SICK PAY

HOLIDAY BUY & SELL SCHEME

OPTIONAL OVERTIME

1 IN 6 ON-CALL ROTA

£180 ON-CALL RETAINER

TIME & A HALF FOR CALLOUTS

DOOR-TO-DOOR TRAVEL TIME PAID

And there's something else that really stands out...

THEY ACTUALLY INVEST IN THEIR ENGINEERS

Training shouldn't be an afterthought.

This employer invests approximately:

£5,000£6,000 PER ENGINEER, EVERY YEAR

into professional development.

That can include:

  • Industry-recognised training

  • Professional qualifications

  • Specialist technical courses

  • Product and manufacturer training

  • Ongoing technical development

  • Support from trusted training providers

Whether you're looking to broaden your technical knowledge, gain additional qualifications or work towards your next career step, there's genuine investment behind it.

If you want to improve your technical skills, gain further qualifications or progress your career, this employer is prepared to invest in you.

WANT TO BOOST YOUR EARNINGS?

There's also the opportunity to increase your income through overtime and the on-call rota.

The current arrangement is:

1 IN 6 ON-CALL

With:

£180 ON-CALL RETAINER

TIME & A HALF FOR CALLOUTS

DOOR-TO-DOOR TRAVEL TIME PAID

You'll also have access to a dedicated 24-hour technical support team that screens calls before they reach the engineer.

That means fewer unnecessary callouts and better support when you're actually needed on site.

A PATCH THAT MAKES SENSE

London is a huge area.

And anyone working in field engineering knows that the difference between a sensible regional patch and constantly travelling across London can have a massive impact on your working day.

This isn't a role where you're expected to spend your life travelling from one side of London to the other.

The engineering team operates across a regional patch, with the focus on keeping engineers working within a sensible distance of home wherever operationally possible.

For engineers based around:

North London | South London | East London | West London | Central London | Enfield | Barnet | Haringey | Walthamstow | Ilford | Romford | Croydon | Bromley | Sutton | Kingston | Richmond | Ealing | Hounslow | Brent | Harrow | surrounding areas

the role offers the potential to spend significantly less time dealing with unnecessary long-distance travel.

More time carrying out the work.

Less time stuck in traffic.

Less unnecessary mileage.

More time at home.

A better overall work-life balance.

THE COMPANY EV

You'll be provided with a company electric vehicle, with a home charging point installed where suitable.

Where home charging isn't possible, arrangements are available to support vehicle charging.

The vehicle forms part of the overall package and is designed to support engineers working across their regional patch.

EMPLOYEE DISCOUNTS & REWARDS

WHO I'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO

You could be an experienced Fire & Security Engineer currently working with:

  • Fire alarm systems

  • Intruder alarms

  • CCTV

  • Access control

  • Integrated security systems

You'll ideally have solid field-based engineering experience and be comfortable working independently with customers.

You should be confident fault finding, carrying out planned and reactive works, completing installations or maintenance and dealing professionally with customers on site.

Most importantly, you're someone who wants to:

BUILD A CAREER NOT JUST MOVE JOBS.

If you're technically capable, customer-focused and want to work for an employer that actually invests in its people, I'd like to hear from you.

NOT ACTIVELY LOOKING?THAT'S ABSOLUTELY FINE.

Some of the best conversations I have are with engineers who aren't actively applying for jobs.

Maybe you're happy where you are, but:

You're travelling too far.

You're spending too much time sitting in traffic.

You're covering too large an area.

You're not getting the training you were promised.

The benefits aren't great.

There's no obvious progression.

Or you're simply ready for a better overall package.

If any of that sounds familiar, let's have a confidential conversation.

No pressure. No obligation.

Just an opportunity to find out what's actually available across the London area.

WHY THIS ROLE COULD BE WORTH A CONVERSATION

REGIONAL COVERAGE

Designed to minimise unnecessary travel wherever operationally possible.

COMPANY EV

A company electric vehicle with home charging installation where suitable.

EXCELLENT BENEFITS

Private healthcare, life insurance, company sick pay, holiday buy & sell and employee rewards.

SERIOUS TRAINING INVESTMENT

Approximately £5,000£6,000 per engineer every year.

EXTRA EARNING POTENTIAL

Optional overtime plus a 1 in 6 on-call rota, £180 retainer and time and a half for callouts.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

A dedicated 24-hour technical support team screens calls before they reach the engineer.

WORK-LIFE BALANCE

A regional approach designed to keep you working within a sensible distance of home wherever possible.
